!MWARNING
When loading with material from a high bank or pile,
remove any overhang first. Watch out for sliding
material. If overhanging material falls, you and your
machine could be buried.

Load and unload on firm, level ground. Always be alert
for possible hazards. Take special care when turning
or reversing.

The following paragraphs are intended to bring some of the
relevant considerations to your attention. They are not
intended to be comprehensive, nor to be a substitute for
adequate training. Make sure you are trained before you
use any attachment.
As the shovel enters the pile, select lift then start to roll the
shovel back. This will sweep the shovel up the pile,
gathering material as it goes.
Pressing the transmission dump switch will give more
power to the loader and speed the operation. Try to fill the
shovel in one pass. Half full shovels are less productive.
When moving the load, roll the shovel right back to prevent
spillage.
When you are loading from a pile of loose material, start at
the bottom and follow up the face as shown. Approach the
pile with the shovel level and skimming the ground.
In tightly packed material, start at the top and work down.
When removing material from a stockpile, start at a
shovel's height from the base. Once the height of the
stockpile has been reduced, begin loading from the base.
